Bake For The Cure Baking Contest! Part 2

Welcome to part 2 of this week's Bake For The Cure baking contest! For the second recipe, I have to bake a family-favorite recipe using ACH Foods products. Well, guess what? One of my family's favorite desserts is Pecan Pie, and we always use Karo Corn Syrup to make it. So, easy choice there! This made for a good excuse to bake a pecan pie!  For an added twist I put some chocolate chips in; after trying chocolate pecan pie a few years ago at a restaurant, my family has come to really enjoy the extra chocolate flavor!  So, in case any of you all get hungry and want to try this out (this is the best pecan pie recipe I've ever made), here it is!

Pecan Pie

Ingredients:

3 Eggs
1 cup Karo Dark Corn Syrup
1/2 cup Sugar
2 tablespoons Butter, melted
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1 cup Chopped Pecans
1 Unbaked Pastry Shell (9-inches)
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips (optional)


Directions:
In a small bowl, lightly beat eggs. Stir in corn syrup, sugar, butter, vanilla and salt. Add pecans and mix well.

Sprinkle chocolate chips in the bottom of pie shell; pour pecan mixture over chocolate chips.  Cover edges with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove foil; bake 20 minutes longer or until done (a knife inserted near the center should come out clean). Cool; store in refrigerator.

Karo Corn Syrup-a key ingredient to delicious pecan pie!

Chocolate chips in the pie shell
In the oven!
All done!

As I said, this is one of my family's favorite desserts (especially my husband and daughter H!)  This recipe always turns out a perfect pie, too!

So, I need your help again, neighbors! Please leave me some comments! Let me know any twists you can think up to add to this recipe, or share your favorite pie recipe! Anything you want to share, I want to hear!

If I added anything at all, it would be coconut, but I think this would taste best just as it is! I love the chocolate chips on the bottom!

My mom use to make a pecan pie with a secret ingredient that would have everyone wondering what wwas in it.
It was orange zest. I know it sounds odd but believe me it is awesome!

Try adding a 1/2 teaspoon of orange zest.

mmmm! Perfect timing to share this recipe! Fall weather, warm pie, coffee... too good. Usually there is too much goo in a pecan pie for me (I know how can you have too much of a good thing!) Baking it with less in a tart pan or something would be a way to get the flavor without too much of the sugar rush.
Christine said…
This is a great recipe to share with Thansgiving right around the corner.

My hubs doesn't like pumpkin so this could be a great alternative.
I don't like pecan pie, but my husband loves it. I've never tried it because it always looked so hard, but this looks easy and I'll definitely be trying it. Thank you!
Laura said…
I like pecans, and I like pie, but for some reason I can't stand pecan pie. My husband likes it though, so maybe I'll try this recipe. I think I'd like it more if there was a variety of nuts in it, like maybe some chopped walnuts or almonds.

I have never tasted a cooked pecan pie.
my bama used to make them but I always ate the filling with a spoon before it was baked.
Now, when I have a choice a always choose pumkin. I think I need to branch out.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
